Cool , Go out with Andrew he can show you some spots. Being young fit and keen the worlds your oyster. Find a hunting buddy and go for it. Me and another dude did a lot of walking up there years ago. We used to see a few deer and shoot the odd one. In summer you can leave on Friday night and back Sunday night for work and access some great hunting spots . Leave from Makahu Saddle you have Studholme saddle area , Back Ridge , Ballards , Venison tops , Spion Kop . Go from the lakes there is great hunting around Kiwi Saddle down to Kiwi mouth . If your really keen Manson is 8-9 hours walk from the road end.

Welcome to the forum Met4lboy.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
